About the game
What you do in a play session
Dice Horde is a solo tower defense roll-and-write game where you lead the defense against a wild invasion of dice-headed creatures emerging from mysterious rifts. Each round begins with a dice roll that determines the horde's advance and the defenses you can use. Enemies are represented by dice marching across the board, with their values dictating the speed of the attack. Your goal is to strategically reduce these values with attacks, collect the fragments of destroyed dice, and use these resources to upgrade defenses, activate traps, or summon elite guards. Every round, you must balance the pressure of keeping the horde at bay while strengthening your fortress. If you fail, the horde will overrun everything, turning your realm into an epic mess! Get ready for an intense and challenging experience where every decision matters.
